Let me preface this by saying I'm not a bodyman. I've done everything else on a car or boat for almost 50 years, but not bodywork.
So of course I decided I'm gonna do the truck bodywork myself this time, as I didn't do it on my Cobra. And my buddy will paint it with his 30+ years of experience.
So I'm learning as I go along. My buddy is coaching me on basic bodywork techniques, but he has no experience with FFR fiberglass kits.
So I posted the previous question about the radiator cowl fitment.
I've not yet trimmed the cowl or hood, just looking at fitment angle right now. Looks to me that the cowl is pointing slightly upward at the front in relation to the hood (hard to see in the pics). I assume the hood and cowl should be perfectly level to each other, true ???
But seems that if I tilt the cowl down in front, which would be away from the hood, the hood will come up short. What have y'all seen and done?
BTW, I spent over a week getting the doors to hang on the hinges and open/close properly. Between speaking with Tony Z at FFR and some forum posts here I finally figured out how to get the door to "Twist" by adjusting the internal door frame. I did quit once last week :-)
The radiator angle as it affects hood length is still a question mark to me.
Can someone with a hood and side covers please take a measurement from the rear tip of the cowl mount to the curve on the body just behind the FW?
